Require 'rubygems' came back false.

When I require 'rubygems' the prompt came back false instead of true like the video.

Hi Winston Hardson

The reason you'll be getting the false message is probably because the library is loaded already.

It'll only return true if the rubygems haven't been loaded already and false is they have.

For example,

Run require 'time' and it'll return true.

Then run it again and see the result false

Hope this helps.
